I've launched a MySpace for the band...Greymantle Poets is the new (well, new since last year) name for it, which I'm content with. And hopefully we'll have some music up there so people who wouldn't want to commit to receiving a whole CD can check out a song or two.
For now, I have my first lyric posted in the blog. http://www.myspace.com/greymantlepoets
I'm reading Evil Genius by Catherine Jinks. Awesome.
I was recommended Soon I Will Be Invincible while at Viable Paradise, strongly encouraged to read it.
But I couldn't.
For one thing, all the dialogue was streamlined with narration. I love stories heavy on dialogue, where every new line gets full attention in it's own quote marks.
Also, it's just not my kind of book. I know it was good. The little I read will stick with me, and I probably ought to have done it. But...
Evil Genius is much more my style. And it's challenging for my YA supers story and maybe when I'm done I'll know the next stage of work for refocusing the novel.
Honestly have no idea why anyone would pick up World Domination 101 if they have Evil Genius to read, and the others in similar vein (Avatars, actual comics, any movie on the subject to watch) so it makes picking out the strengths to draw out harder.
I know how my "Aetherling" story was unique. The world concept swallowed up the superheroes idea and spit it out in a way I'm pretty sure I've never come across, even in passing or at a distance. (No, I can't explain what I mean by that, or I'd figure out a better way to say it...)
